Looking forward to sharing what I've learned from journalists at the @MN_Newspapers convention. Splitting webinar into four areas: 1) #editing, 2) #communityengagement, 3) #strategicplanning and 4) establishing #personalgoals for #community #newspaper. newspaperacademy.com/webinar…

This is one of the points I didn't get a change to make perfectly clear at @UMDalworth talk: The profession's problems didn't start with the internet. Ownership consolidation began long before we were reading news on a computer. Let @JeremyLittau explain. slate.com/technology/2019/01…

The challenge facing #localfarmers: Will the public buy local #produce? This @Cal_Ag survey finds consumers want local produce if it's of good quality and is priced fairly. #localfood #agriculture #csafarming #umdjour #NewsEngagementDay calag.ucanr.edu/Archive/?art…

For #NewsEngagementDay, I'm creating an example of using #crowdsourcing to explore a topic. Topic? #sustainablefarming We all want good, #localfood, but how can local #farmers thrive in a society used to thinking mostly about how cheap food is? What problems do #CSAfarmers face?

Looks like some great strategies for @thebarkumd to consider for its coverage of important issues on campus next year. x.com/jem2998/status/9894935…

Those who employ methods that @ivohMedia and @soljourno promote have been using empathy approaches in #journalism for some time now. x.com/AmPress/status/9894882…
